Regarding video distribution - what are the pluses/minuses of using
HDMI rather than cat5e ?

How far will HDMI go? I suspect it's only a short distance spec
measured in metres...

Would it be worth saying something about terrestrial tv/satellite tv/
coax/distribution amps?

That is whole new ball game with many variations depending on what
the requirements are.

It might be worth adding that putting in at least one quality coax
cable to every room is a good idea due to the disruption that putting
cables in makes.

What about cabling in home cinema?

Surely that would be dedicated to the "cinema room" and comes in with
the (short?) distance capabilities of HDMI?
